MUTigerFan Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The SEC network starts in August 2014. They'll reportedly charge providers ~ $1.30 per subscriber in SEC country, only $.37 outside of the SEC. That's the highest rate of any conference network (Big 10 at $1.00) Questions: Would you like to see Time Warner or satellite provide serve it up? Would you want them to pass along the fees if they did? Would you ever watch it? Obviously, as a Mizzou fan, I'd want it and I'd watch it. But I think a substantial number on non-SEC fans might want to tune in Florida/LSU or some other crazy Sat. night game.. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Just like the Big Ten network, not many people are going to watch it other than Big Ten fans. As for that Florida/LSU game, that will, more than likely, be picked up by ESPN or ABC so it wouldn't be on that anyway. No....I would not like it to be on my Dish network if I have to pay for it. I have absolutely no desire to pay $15.60 per year to the SEC. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't want to pay $4.50 either. No thank..... Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't even get the Big 10 Network, simply because I refuse to pay $10-15 per month for one channel. For the Saturdays they air Husker games, I just don't watch. I can't imagine non-SEC fans would want to pay for that (SEC channel). Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I can't see college football fans living in Utah (outside of school alums) caring about the Arkansas-Kentucky football matchup....the same way I can't see fans in Georgia caring about the Iowa-Northwestern game.

huKSer Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 No I don't want the ESPecN network, though I think we will get it down here in KC metro area. Remember, just like the Big Ten Network, most of the games are going to be against non-AQ, Div II and in the case of SEC, assorted HS teams. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm guessing Dish will add it to the Multi-Sports package where they already have the Big 10 and Pac 12 networks, along with a few other channels and won't mind if they bump the cost a bit. I would pay the extra .37 during football season if it was a la carte, though I really doubt it will be. If they put it in a higher tier package like they've done with the Fox Sports 1 network, it's doubtful I'd get it because that would be another $10 or $20/month. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ESPN’s Brent Musburger and Jesse Palmer Signed as Lead SEC Network Announce Team Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Stewart Mandel @slmandel 8m Saturday night will now likely be Fowler & Herbstreit. Fowler's contract was expiring, ESPN didn't want to lose him. Stewart Mandel @slmandel 5m Musburger's a broadcasting icon yet now been fired or demoted by 2 different networks. Sad to see. But cool that he'll still be doing CFB. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I just can't wait to see the SEC knock-off version of College Gameday Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Richard Deitsch @richarddeitsch 37m Chris Fowler gets the Brent Musburger job. He will still continue on GameDay. Signs with ESPN through 2023. Quote Link to comment
